This year’s event will be held at the Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 4–8, 2015. Attendees will get the inside scoop on the latest research from some of the world’s top leaders, researchers, scientists, and business people. With thousands of talks, posters, and presentations across 12 theme areas, the meeting is sure to satisfy wide-ranging materials science interests.

Let’s just say we are on pins and needles with excitement!

Speaking of “pins,” (smooth segue, right?) get ready to #PinYourACerS pride at MS&T15.

New this year, ACerS will be handing out free collectible buttons at choice lectures and events at MS&T15. Simply show up to the event and find ACerS staff handing out the free buttons.

Also stop by the ACerS lounge to snap a #MatSciSelfie showing off your buttons. Share your selfie on ACerS Facebook page or tweet @ACerSNews with the #PinYourACerSPride hashtag to be entered to win daily prizes at the meeting.

Winners will be announced in the afternoon on Monday, Oct. 5; Tuesday, Oct. 6; and Wednesday, Oct. 7 on ACerS Facebook page, Twitter account, and Ceramic Tech Today.
